Dust and powder of natural or synthetic precious or semi-precious stone
HS v2022 Code: 7105
About dust and powder of natural or synthetic precious or semi-precious stone
HS code 7105 covers the trade and production of dust and powder derived from natural or synthetic precious and semi-precious stones. This industry plays a crucial role in the global gemstone and jewelry supply chain, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications, from industrial abrasives to high-end cosmetics. The dust and powder produced under this code are in high demand across various sectors, contributing to the overall growth and development of the broader economy.
Production process
The production of dust and powder under HS code 7105 typically involves the mechanical processing of precious and semi-precious stones. This may include crushing, grinding, or milling the raw materials to achieve the desired particle size and consistency. Advanced techniques, such as air classification or sieving, may be employed to further refine the product and ensure consistent quality. The specific production methods used can vary depending on the type of stone being processed and the intended end-use of the dust or powder.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of dust and powder under HS code 7105 are the raw materials, namely natural or synthetic precious and semi-precious stones. These may include diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and a wide range of other gemstones. In addition to the raw materials, the industry also relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as crushers, mills, and sifting systems, to efficiently transform the stones into the desired powder or dust form. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential for powering the production processes.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 7105 are the various types of dust and powder derived from precious and semi-precious stones. These products find applications in a diverse range of industries, including 3207 (Prepared pigments, prepared opacifiers and prepared colours, vitrifiable enamels and glazes, engobes (slips), liquid lustres and similar preparations, of a kind used in the ceramic, enamelling or glass industry; glass frit and other glass, in the form of powder, granules or flakes), 3304 (Beauty or make-up preparations and preparations for the care of the skin (other than medicaments), including sunscreen or sun tan preparations; manicure or pedicure preparations), and 6804 Millstones, grindstones, grinding wheels and the like, without frameworks, for grinding, sharpening, polishing, trueing or cutting, hand sharpening or polishing stones, and parts thereof, of natural stone, of agglomerated natural or artificial abrasives, or of ceramics, with or without parts of other materials.
